The New Orleans Saints are currently $1.7 million under the 2015 salary cap. General manager Mickey Loomis spent the early part of the offseason getting rid of much of their payroll that had them around $23 million over the $143.2 million cap before the new league year began.

There is no urgency to place New Orleans Saints LB Junior Galette on an exempt list after his arrest for an alleged domestic abuse battery incident because there are no football activities, according to general manager Mickey Loomis.

New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis was back on the job Tuesday, Nov. 6, after serving his eight-week suspension. He said that he has "absolute" confidence that the team and head coach Sean Payton will reach a contract agreement to keep Payton in New Orleans beyond this season. Sources indicated the two sides are waiting to resume talks until they receive specific written permission from the league to do so.
